Hello people of Tom's Hardware!
I have finally gotten all the parts to build my first ever PC. I began my build without a hitch, but now I'm stuck. The standoffs on my case (NZXT Noctis 450) were VERY hard to get out (I eventually did it with extreme difficulty using a wrench). I never thought it would be such a challenge to do something so seemingly simple. Well, I thought, that's out of the way. I began to install my standoffs onto my MSI Z270 SLI motherboard. It was not easy, but I was able to install 6 of them. Will I be okay not installing the others? It's damn well near impossible to do and I think I may have broken a few of them while unscrewing them out because they do not reach the bottom of the back chassis. Help would be appreciated. Thanks!
